The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 712
Seraphina had only mentioned marriage for the sake of gauging Stefan's opinion on it—she had never expected him to take her question seriously at all. To her immense shock, Stefan had ended up… agreeing with her.It felt like a dream come true to the woman, as if the high and mighty star that she had loved for so long had finally fallen into her hands. "If you're willing to marry me, I'll let you take over the Murphy family business too. I just want to enjoy life because I don't have any idea on how to run a business at all. I'll feel much better with you handling the Murphy business."Seraphina had already envisioned their wonderful life together after marriage. She grabbed the man's arm, looking at the crystal chandelier above their heads as she said happily, "We'll get a villa up west, and decorate the place however we want. You like anime and Lego blocks, right? We can have a room just for your figurines! I'll buy you the rarest figurines and the hardest Lego sets to build…"

Renee's body tensed up instantly, sweat dripping from her forehead. She didn't even dare to breathe, thinking, 'Oh, I'm so doomed…'She wasn't worried that Stefan wouldn't let her go, she just felt embarrassed about this whole ordeal. She constantly called the man a pervert, but her secretly hiding under his bed was even more perverted than his usual antics!"Dude, you dropped one," Seraphina sighed as she saw the block rolling away. She stood up and walked towards the bed to help him get it. "You have to be careful, you know? I had to go through a lot to get you this set… Ahhh!"The woman had just gotten down on all fours, peering under the bed to see where the block was. To her shock, Seraphina saw Renee hiding there, and she let out a piercing shriek."Under your bed, she… she…" Seraphina's face went pale as she stammered, still pointing at Renee shakily. She couldn't seem to find the words she wanted to say.Stefan, on the other hand, just smirked knowingly. "Come out, then. A

However, Renee wasn't afraid at all. She smirked at the woman and said cockily, "Go ahead, I'll be waiting.""Y-You!" Seraphina sputtered angrily, not expecting such a response from Renee. She quickly grabbed Stefan's arm and whined, "Stef, just look at this woman! She literally committed a crime, but doesn't have any remorse! How could someone be so shameless?! You shouldn't let her off so easily!"Stefan nodded, his handsome face serious. "You're right, I shouldn't. So… you should head home for now, I'll punish her myself.""Wh… What?" Seraphina blinked at him in disbelief. Renee was the one who was supposed to be punished, but Seraphina was the one being chased out of the room. Now, all her righteous indignation just made her seem like a nosy prick instead."You know, she's still my ex-wife. It's very likely that she hid in my room because she still has feelings for me, and she's probably doing this to win me back…" Stefan explained as he smiled meaningfully at Renee. Stefan t

Renee checked her wristwatch and noticed that it was getting late, so she decided to leave.Stefan smiled coldly and asked, "Do you not want the Rainbow Glaze?"Renee paused, inwardly thinking, 'Of course I do! Why else would I be under your bed?!'However, she kept up her cold and arrogant facade. "I don't want it anymore. Use it as a urinal or something!"Stefan was actually quite amazed by the woman's vulgarity. The Rainbow Glaze had been a renowned treasure for thousands of years, with many trying to get their hands on it. Hence, he never would've imagined Renee would view it as a urinal.'I knew women were trouble. Their sharp tongues can cut people up, especially those with weak hearts.'"If you want it, I can just give it to you. Then your efforts won't be wasted," the man said calmly as he stared at the woman's slender back.Renee was quite conflicted after hearing this. She had to admit that she was slightly swayed by this, even though she had just refused to take it a

Stefan had no idea that Renee liked building blocks, nor did he know of her extraordinary skills. His true intention was to dampen her spirit by giving her something she wasn't good at, but… the woman's performance made him view her in a different light.Renee could easily put a few irregularly shaped blocks together, forming them into a complete shape. It was obvious that her speed and technique exceeded the average person's."Huh, I didn't think you were a master at this," Stefan reluctantly admitted. Anyone else would've likely taken at least an hour to make those shapes, but Renee merely needed five minutes to achieve it. Her abilities were practically on his level.The woman didn't even need to look at the instructions, and she easily pieced another few blocks together. Her cherry lips curled upwards slyly, and she chuckled. "Well, you do have an odd mind, so I'm surprised you even think at all."She thought to herself, 'What a waste of intelligence. It's a shame he can't read

"Yeah, maybe." Renee didn't deny it either. Thinking back, despite having been married to the man for so many years, despite expressing every ounce of love she had for him, she'd never really tried putting her ego aside to make him stay either.She had been willing to give up everything for him, but she had let him go as soon as he brought it up. She didn't bother to try to save the relationship and even left before he could leave her…She couldn't help but wonder if things would've been different for them if she had just done something back then.As time passed, the clock soon struck 3 AM, which was usually when the human body felt most exhausted.Renee was starting to feel drowsy, and her movements were slowing down. However, she knew that she couldn't sleep now, as she wanted to get the Rainbow Glaze. She simply had to finish this project before dawn arrived."I'm getting sleepy." Stefan stretched as he looked at the Lego set that was only partially complete. He turned to the w

It was already afternoon when Renee woke up the next day. She was on a soft large bed that had a relaxing fragrance emanating from its sheets. She soon realized that it was Stefan's unique scent.It was said that a person could identify the scent of someone they loved very much; it wasn't the smell of their perfume, but the scent coming from within their very souls. It was likely that Stefan was considered somewhat important in her heart, which was why Renee could still recognize his unique scent."Damn it!" Renee jumped up from the bed as soon as she realized where she was, the shock waking her up in an instant. She was the only one left in the room at the time, as Stefan seemed to have gone off somewhere already."Ugh, how could I have fallen asleep?" Renee slapped herself on the forehead, frustrated that she hadn't finished building the Lego set. Furthermore, she just had to end up sleeping in Stefan's bed.She could only imagine how Stefan would humiliate her because of this. N

Renee tried to explain. "Grandpa, actually, last night…""You don't have to say anything more, you don't have to be so shy about it either. You're both youngsters after all, even if something did happen between the two of you, it's completely normal. I may be old, but I'm not that conservative. I understand." Timothy was grinning widely as he cleared his throat. "It's good that the little punk finally came to his senses. This morning, he even told me that you needed lots of rest after last night, so I shouldn't disturb you. He said you could sleep till whatever time you liked."Renee blushed, her voice panicked. "Grandpa Timothy, you've misunderstood. Nothing happened between us last night, we-""Nothing happened? And yet… you've slept in his bed the whole night." The old man grinned at her cheekily."Well… He… He didn't lay in bed with me. He was probably building his lego spaceship, so we really didn't…" The more Renee tried to explain, the more guilty she looked."Oh child, I

In the past, Jovan had always regarded Stefan as a coward. Stefan couldn't forget about Renee, but he kept pushing Renee to another man. It seemed like Justin was more responsible, considerate, and gentle. Of course, Renee would lead a very happy, steady, and comfortable life with such a man. At the very least, Jovan felt that he could not be that meticulous and considerate. He would only drive Renee mad just to get her attention. "Hmph! Are you trying to humiliate me or yourself?" Justin didn't find that a compliment. Instead, it sounded like smockery. Jovan made it sound like Justin was a nice guy, but would not be picked by Renee. Usually, people like that had to suffer and would not end up well."I'm praising you." Jovan was helpless because of his reputation as the villain. Although he had said a lot of annoying things, he did want to compliment Justin. His love was probably as deep as Justin's, but his and Stefan's ways of loving Renee were much inferior to Justin's.
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2420
"That's unnecessary." Justin stood in front of Renee, his face cold. He said firmly, "She's unwell and can't have wine." "Is she unwell? I didn't see that." Jovan sized Renee up before he sized Justin up. Then, he sneered, "And who are you to her? You can't stop her from having wine.""It's none of your business who I am to her. I said she can't have wine." Justin always kept peace with others, but at that moment, he was dominant. He didn't always want to control Renee, but she had drunk a lot of wine that day. It might have hurt her belly. Hence, he felt it better for her to abstain from wine lately. However, Jovan was unaware of that affair. He simply found Justin purposely showing his ownership over Renee, which disgusted him."Waiter, get her a glass of milk. She only wants that," Justin instructed a waiter, showing his consideration for Renee. "It's okay. I can have a little wine. Plus, I'm rather good at drinking. It's not easy for everyone to get together tonight. I do

They danced for around ten minutes. Renee danced to the song heartily. Her initial gloomy mood also improved.Renee drank some water and took a few deep breaths. Then, she sincerely praised Leia, "Alright. Your welcome ceremony is bizarre, but it helped relieve my stress. I like it very much!"She could tell that Leia had painstakingly prepared that gift for her. After all, it was not easy to ask the Zambawi people from primitive tribes to sing an English song. "I'm glad you like it. I did this because I wanted you to relax and stop taking things seriously. You need to stop being so hard on yourself and get rid of all the pressure!" Leia said honestly. The Zambawi hand-drum dance came with the charms of a primitive dance. Its goal was to set people free. Of course, it was suitable for Renee to relieve her stress."Yeah, your stress is relieved. From now on, you'll start afresh. This is for you. I'm sure it'll be one of your happy memories." Liam handed the previous Polaroid to

"This is your welcome ceremony. This hand-drum dance is to help eliminate bad luck." Leia held Renee's arm, satisfied with her arrangement. She said happily, "Listen to their song! It's a great song!""Is there a song?" Renee frowned; she felt that Leia was always doing bizarre things. She wondered how Leia could come up with such a preposterous welcome ceremony."Mm, listen carefully! It's English. You can understand it." At that point, Leia said to the Zambawi people, "Put on your microphone. And sing louder."The Zambawi people gave their cooperation. They used their typical Zambawi singing to sing the English song. While listening to the song, Renee found it very familiar. "The flowers will bloom in spring, and the birds are free. I'm still waiting, waiting for my love to come back. Hurry home!""Isn't that Spring Flowers by Curtis Harrett?" Renee finally recalled what song it was. It was a song with a happy beat. It could make people happy. The Zambawi people made th

"I don't know, either. All I ever remember from when I was young is that I led a very painful life. I once tried my best to make the Garcia family accept me. I did all the dirty and tiring jobs. I went out to work at an early age to get money for them. I also did all the house chores. "But my foster parents were never nice to me. They would always beat me up or scold me. My elder foster brother also saw me as an eyesore. He always tried to get me killed…" Quinton calmly described his past. He no longer seemed to be in pain. All that was left in him was numbness, as if he were talking about someone else.However, Renee was always in pain whenever she heard him talk about his past. She felt like she had returned to his past with him and experienced those painful things. It was normal for her to feel that way because they were twins. A lot of their thoughts and feelings were synchronized. "I suddenly recalled that I would inexplicably become gloomy many times when I was young. I
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2416
"I'm sorry." When Renee heard that from Quinton, she realized the conflict between him and Stefan had yet to be resolved. It was temporarily put aside because of her. She occasionally saw him and Stefan talk to each other and drink together, but they merely put on a show to ease her mind. Their hatred for each other hadn't been eliminated. Instead, it was growing secretly. If Renee were Quinton, she might never forgive the person who had snatched away her beloved and seized her identity. That person even ruined her face."Why did you say sorry to me? It's the resentment between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. Plus, I didn't know he was my brother-in-law then. If I knew, I wouldn't have fought him." When Quinton recalled those affairs, he realized that people were nothing but the sport of fate. If there had been no resentment between him and Stefan, Renee might not have broken up with Stefan. Their families might even get closer. "Stop bringing up the past. It's
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2415
During these days, Renee was under pressure because of her affairs. She had no chance to ask Quinton about it. Now, the long flight gave them a chance to have a deep conversation. They could talk about their woes and seek consolation."Me?" Quinton lowered his head and shook his head helplessly. "I'm still the same old me. Nothing is troubling me. I've been busy with Carmine Pawnshop. I have no time to think about other stuff.""You have no time?" Renee touched her chin and smiled naughtily. "Then, you must have been dwelling on other stuff. Let me guess… Is it the thing between you and Joanne?" "Stop asking so much." Quinton did not deny it but refused to talk much about that. "It looks like I made the right guess. You fell out with Joanne, didn't you?" Renee knew Quinton well. Generally, his work would not affect his mood. The only person who could affect his mood was Joanne, who shared a complicated relationship with him. Before Renee left Beach City, she had created a l

After a long while, Quinton turned around. He looked at Renee, who was across from him, and heaved a long sigh."We're about to go home soon. Why do you look this gloomy? What's wrong…? Are you reluctant to part with this place?" Quinton said. "No, I'm not." Renee poured herself a glass of orange juice and sipped it. She frowned and dwelled on it before she said, "I feel empty inside. I don't know if I made the right choice.""Empty?" Quinton asked curiously."I think I've said goodbye to a steady life since I decided to leave. Maybe I'll keep on wandering from now on," Renee said melancholically. The reason why she chose to give it a try with Justin because she was tired. She was exhausted from leading a wandering life and wanted to settle down with someone. Others could not give her the sense of security like Justin. When she saw him, she inexplicably wanted a home. At that time, she thought she could forget about everything and start a new life with him. Unexpectedly, she

Adie was still a child, but he acted like a smart person and could see through a lot of things. He could guess why Austin took them to the Baldwin residence. He had also heard the servants of the Baldwin family rebuking Renee in secret. After combining various situations, he learned about what had happened between Renee and Justin. Despite everything, Justin could forgive Renee under such circumstances. He also treated Adie and Abby nicely. It proved that he was a very compassionate man. A small regret gripped Adie. He wondered why Renee didn't date Justin right from the start. If Renee were with such a kind man, she might be very happy. She wouldn't have to suffer through so many hardships either. "No, you don't know me. I always sweat the small stuff."Justin was displeased since Adie had claimed that he was a good guy, like Renee had. He heaved a long sigh and said, "But it's useless even if I sweat the small stuff, so I stop trying. It all comes down to fate. We can't forc
